    Part of why it’s this way is the expense of getting anything approved! I blame our bureaucracy as much as I blame those types

      That’s what stops a lot of bullshit entering the market.

      You’re oblivious to blame regulations on this.

    do you want less people listening to doctors , and turning anti vaxx? Because that’s how you do it.

    Pharmaceutical companies are not great, but they are still making necessary medicine.

    My dad worked at Nintendo for a billion years. He said Nintendo is the one that has all of Xbox’ good games.

    These kinds of takes have legs because the capitalist parasite class really does value profit a lot more than your life or mine. When a drug company finds a cure for blindness and decides to charge almost a million dollars for it, you can’t really argue that they have your best interest in mind, or even a shred of human decency. That said, the take posted is not how it really works. If they discovered a drug that cured asthma in 3 days they’d patent it and sell it for a million dollars. They’ve already done it for other ailments. No one can argue they wouldn’t.

    So if this person no longer works for Pfizer, spill the beans! Tell us about all of the cures that it killed.
